Saif Ali Khan To Do ‘Race’ Sequel

30th September 2008

The cool-as-a-cucumber Khan will indulge in more mind games in the sequel to this year’s hit movie Race .

It has almost become a norm to make the sequel if a movie ends up pulling crowds to the marquee. We’ve seen such sequels being made in Dhoom 2 , Sarkar Raj , Krrish and there are some in the making, like Raaz – The Mystery Continues , ‘Phoonk 2’ and possibly ‘Drona 2’ as well.
Producer Ramesh Taurani of TIPS had announced his tentative plan to make the sequel to ‘Race’ early this year. But the project was in infancy stage and the only thing that was finalized at that point was Abbas-Mastan as its director.

Now, Saif Ali Khan has confirmed that he will do the film.

According to B-Town sources, Bipasha Basu will also be part of the movie, though her dates are yet to be worked out. Katrina Kaif and Akshaye Khanna would be left out in the sequel because their characters died in the climax of ‘Race’. Instead, according to our source, two new actors would be roped in for the sequel.

Saif is presently busy working on his home production with Imtiaz Ali . After that, he will shoot for Karan Johar’s production to be directed by Rensil D’Silva. The movie has Kareena Kapoor opposite Saif.
